Casting Technologies Co., which makes lighter automotive parts that improve vehicles’ fuel efficiency, will expand this summer and add 40 new employees as part of its most recent $3 million expansion. It is the company’s second expansion in a year.
The company, which employs 110 at its 183,000-square-foot plant on Musicland Drive, will begin adding jobs later this year that start at $16 an hour, company officials said.
Casting Technologies, which was founded in Franklin in 1995, manufactures air bag housing units, air-conditioning components and suspension parts.
